Unsere Bewertung

Even though I did like this book, it was not quite what I have expected it to be. The cover and the title imply that this is a retelling of the Medusa myth - and it is, but not only; instead, the novel focuses on a range of female characters who are wronged by mortal men and the gods.
All in all, I think anyone who is interested in Greek mythology will enjoy this book. (And it might be helpful to have some knowledge of Greek mythology to not get lost in the story, since it is told from different perspectives).
